Default values (by =?Utf-8?B?Q1JBSUcgS0VMTFk=?= on 14 May 2004, 1 reply)
I have lots of forms which contain quite a lot of data, the majority of the datain each record will be the same, how can I set the fields so that when I create a new record it is populated with the value from the previous record, I know I can set a default value in the table but considering how many fields I have it will take ages, can I do this globally?

A lot of my forms are linked to one main form by using subforms so when I create a new record it creates one for each form linked via the subform is there a way of copying the main form record so that it would copy all the subforms too? Lotus approach had this facility but i haven't found it on access as yet. ... (more)

having problem with table (by =?Utf-8?B?cmF3bGV5?= on 14 May 2004, 1 reply)
I have the following tables: An Equipment Type table which denotes things like mixers, dust collectors, forklifts, etc. Then, I have an Equipment table (with a link between the Type ID of the previous table) that lets me use a pulldown to select a Type of 'Forklift' and then to enter specifically #1 ABC Forklift, etc. All this works fine. I want to use this data to enter information in when we do work on the forklifts, including the hours worked on the forklift. I want the table to have a pulldown from the Equipment table so that I can select which forklift was worked on. I tried linking the Equip Name field, but the best I can do is that all equipment shows up in the pulldown. I only want equipment that is a Forklift type. Any ideas on this one, or can I structure it a different way?

Web enabling Access 2003 (by =?Utf-8?B?TWlrZSBGaW5nZXI=?= on 14 May 2004, 1 reply)
I want to take an existing Access database app and set it up with forms to add/edit data and reports to display/download data that are entirely accessed through a browser. From what I have been able to find, my options are to use Data Access Pages, and/or write my own ASP or php pages linked back to the mdb. Is there a way to make use of InfoPath to do all the forms? The intent is a fully web accessed app - no replication or distribution of front ends, back ends etc. I also would like to avoid writing all that code from scratch with ASP/php.

Current app stats - 15 tables, 12 forms, 6 reports. ~500,000 records, not very dynamic data, mostly view, lookup uses. ... (more)

Ok, I'm not sure where this question belongs but here it is.

I have several DAPs with the record navigation bar. The bar works but the images for the buttons are not loaded (displayed) when it is hosted.

Is it really impossible to control the update of a subfrom vs main form (by =?Utf-8?B?SmVmZnJleQ==?= on 15 May 2004, 5 replies)
I have a main form with a subform. The practical example is Order header and detail. My experience is I can control how and when to write the header record to the table but cannot control the subform. What I want to do is to edit the header and detail (the subform may have several lines) and update the two tables at the same time. If I want to undo (cancel) the header update, I want to undo (cancel) detail lines also.
